Topic: Introduction to Properties of Matter
Objective: Identify substances using their properties
Home Learning: Students will complete a vocabulary foldable and study for vocab test (Intro the Matter and States of Matter terms)


Students will create a Vocabulary Foldable for the following terms:

• Solubility- the ability of a substance to dissolve another one
• Solute- the substance that gets dissolved
• Solvent- the substance that does the dissolving
• Solution- a mixture of a solute and solvent; uniformed throughout
• Saturation Point- stage in which no more substance can be dissolved
• Thermal Conductivity- the rate at which a substance transfers heat
• Electrical Conductivity- is a measure of how well an electric current can move through a sunstance
• Melting Point- when a substance is at a temperature at which it changes from a solid to a liquid
• Boiling Point- the teperature at which a liquid turns into a vapor
• Magnetism- when substances attract each other through a magnetic force

The foldable will include the term on the outside, define the term in the inside flap, and illustrate an example on the base of the paper.
